er and owner and became extensively
known and universally respected as man
of scrupulous integrity, high-minded and
honorable in all his business relations. He
gave his active attention to business down
to the very close of life. But Mr.. Peters
did not contne his attention exclusively to
his private affairs. He took deep habit
ual interest in public affairs, and felt gen
eral interest in all that concerned the wei
fare of the community to which he be-
longed. and was ever ready to cooperate
with others in all efforts to promote the
common welfare. He was true patriot
he loved his country, its institutions, its
government and its constitution-he had
no tolerance for traitors In the conillcts OF
opinion and in the antagoniSms of parties,
he was never neutral. He never tired OF
political discussion. The excitement of
contested election was always genial TO
him, and to the last years of his life he
carried into these contests all the fire and
enthusiasm of his early manhood. He was
no politician in the bad sense Of that term,
for he had no selfish objects to secure.
He never sought an office for himself
he was ambitious only for the cause he
believed to be right and for the friends
whose interests he wished to promote.
His temperament was ardent and lmpui-
sive, but these political contests left no
scar and no resentmcnt>. He had hoped
to live long enough To see the rebellion
against the government he loved Subdued,
and died in the firm faith that honor and
right would speedily and @loriously tri-
umph,
MIR. Peters was II man of quick and
generous senSibilities-strong and cndur-
ing in his friendships, and liberal in his
charities. His house was the home OF Il
cheerful and abundant hospitality. He
was simple as a child in his tastes, habits
and manners, and temperate in all things.
Whoever might be ccnsorious and unchar-
liable or malignant, he lent no willing ear
to the tale of SANDER. He always sought
to allav rescntmcnt~, to promote charity
and good feeling and was never happier
than in making others happy.
Mr. Peters never never seemed to grow
old-savc a his hair became more white
and his head more bald,-but his heart was

ANDREW PETERS, ESQ.

To the EduOr OF the EUsrofM american
In your brief announcement in your
last issue, of the death of Andrew Peters,
Esq, you expressed the expectation and
the wish, for a more extended notice of
his life and character. Will you permit
one who has known him long, and who has
loved him much to attempt the grateful
service? Mr.. Peters was born in Bluehill
on the 7th of February, 1856, and conse-
quently was eighty years and eight days
old at the time of his death. He came to
this place more than fifty years ago to en-
gage in mercantile pursuits. Soon after
he married the daughter of the late Col.
Jordan of this town, who still survives
him-a union which resulted in much do
mestic happiness. As man of business,
he was intelligent, energetic, enterprising
and successful. He became largely en-
gagged in navigation both as ship-build-

The New York Post tells how they cook
spinach in France: After being washed
ia several waters and carefully looked
over, put quarter of sieve to gallon
Of water and three ounces of salt; boil for
ten minutes till tender, drain on sieve,
press little with the hands to extract
part Of the water; chop it fine, put it in
q stewpan with quarter of a pound of
butter teaspoonful of salt, half tea
spoonful Of pepper; place over the fire
for few minutes, adding few drops of
hot broth with gravy proceed as above
with the addition of a tablespoonful of
Hour and half pint of strong gravy;
again proceed as above, and adding half
a pint of cream instead of gravy, also
tablespoonful of sugar; lay three or four
slices Of bread on the dish, sift the sugar
over, put it in the oven, salamandcr it
over, cut in various shapes, and serve
under and over the spinach; little vari-

ORANGE WHEY-The juice of one
orange to one pint of sweet milk. Heat
slowly until curds from strain, and cool.
EGG LEMoNADE-Whi of one egg,
one tablespoon pulverized sugar, juice of
one lemon, one goblet water Beat
together.
SAeo MmK-Three tablespoons sage
soaked in a cup of cold water one hour;
add three cups boiling milk; sweeten
and flavor to taste Simmer slowly
half hour Eat warm.
BAKED MILK-Put half gallon of
milk in a jar, and tie it down with
writing paper. Let it stand in a moder
ate oven eight or ten hours. 1t will be
like cream, and is very nutritious.
PUNCH WITHOUT LIQUoR-Take the
juice of six oranges and six lemons, add
ing sugar to suit the taste. Put to this
a quantity of pounded ice and some
sliced pine apple, pouring over it two
quarts of water. This is an agreeable
summer beverage for anybody, sick or
well.

To Ouench Thirst.

A North Side physician states that ice
water does not quench thirst but in
creases it. 81 remember little story"
said he, (which, think, might do much
good if published during this hot weather,
that heard from an old sailor. He said
that he and six shipwrecked companions
lived four days on three pints of water,
and were not a bit thirsty. When l
asked him to explain, he said that instead
Of gulping the water down, they each
took teaspoonful and gurgled it well in
their mouths. If any one will try the
experiment, no matter how thirsty he is,
by thoroughly rinsing his mouth with
not over a tablespoon of water, he will
find that it will quench his thirst as eff
fectually as a quart of water hastily
swallowed, and will not hurt him any. I
believe that fully one-third of the deaths
during the heated season are, if the truth
were known, directly or indirectly due
TO heavy drinking of ice water. Pitts

The fortnight's sleep of the French
commercial traveller, Chaffat, which
created such sensation in London, Eng
and, last spring, has been completely
eclipsed by Russian sailor at the Wal
ton workhouse, near Liverpool. VIM
stoffsky was brought to the workhouse
in a sleepy condition, and at once went
off into pleasant doze, which lasted
three weeks, when he woke up apparently
much refreshed. On awakening, Win
stoffsky was quite convinced that he had
only taken his usual nights rest. He had
been fed regularly, and his general con-
diCion of health was excellent.
